I'm glad you've got to a better place in your head about this. Reading the progression of your thoughts through this thread, it really sounds to me like your head and your body are very ready to get into the business end of things. Prelabour - check, cervix dilating - check, baby engaged - check, emotional block dealt with and put to rest - check. You are in a really good position now to totally go and do this birth thing and do it well.
I had 2 inductions, one with 1 dose of gels and 1 with AROM only and they were both great, the second one really awesome. For me both inductions were kicked off by the induction method but from then on it progressed just like a spontaneous labour, minus the rush to hospital!
Let me tell you, you and your baby are waaaaay more ready than I was before either of my inductions. I've never had a baby engaged before labour kicked off and never felt a pre-induction crampy BH thingy. But twice I went from that place to pushing a baby out a few hours later so it is definitely a very real possibility for you when you are soooo close!
Good luck!
